--description--

Given a positive integer up to 1,000, return the sum of all the integers squared from 1 up to the number.

--hints--

sum_of_squares(5) should return 55.

({test: () => { runPython(`
from unittest import TestCase
TestCase().assertEqual(sum_of_squares(5), 55)`)
}})

sum_of_squares(10) should return 385.

({test: () => { runPython(`
from unittest import TestCase
TestCase().assertEqual(sum_of_squares(10), 385)`)
}})

sum_of_squares(25) should return 5525.

({test: () => { runPython(`
from unittest import TestCase
TestCase().assertEqual(sum_of_squares(25), 5525)`)
}})

sum_of_squares(500) should return 41791750.

({test: () => { runPython(`
from unittest import TestCase
TestCase().assertEqual(sum_of_squares(500), 41791750)`)
}})

sum_of_squares(1000) should return 333833500.

({test: () => { runPython(`
from unittest import TestCase
TestCase().assertEqual(sum_of_squares(1000), 333833500)`)
}})
